2010 Republic Bank Golf Challenge Is a Success for JFCS and JCC
by Dena Schwartz, JFCS summer intern
The 2010 Republic Bank Golf Challenge was a smashing success. On June 21, 108 golfers descended on southern Indiana’s Chariot Run Golf Course for a tournament to benefit Jewish Family & Career Services and the Jewish Community Center. In its seventh year, the tournament raised money for both agencies, although the final net figure is not yet available.
“The weather was hot and humid, but nothing stopped the teams from having a good time. We also had another successful year of raising valuable dollars for the two agencies,” noted Reed Weinberg, tournament chair. At the end of the day, the U.S. Voice and Data team of George Pacinelli, Mike Nole, Dennis Meiman and Larry Levenberg won first place.
Coming in second was the Republic Bank team of Lisa Butcher, Carol James, Sean O’Mahoney and Dave Richarson. Taking third place was the Goldberg and Simpson team of Howard Wagner, Steve Smith, Gail Pohn and Rick Frank.
Other contests during the tournament added excitement and interest for the teams of golfers. Hans Koehler had the longest putt. Robert Brown won the sharpest drive contest. Jack Savage and Michael Childers were closest to the pin. Amy Baach and Jack Savage won the longest drive contest. Additionally, golfers were able to buy a Fun Pack for $20 that included two mulligans and a putting contest.
Before golf began, a delicious lunch was presented of hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken with all the fixin’s. After play, Mike Best’s Meat Market staff grilled a dinner of tender steaks and chicken for the hungry participants, The meal sponsors were Harrah’s Entertainment & Deming Malone Livesay Ostroff CPAs.
Bernard and Jean Trager were honorary chairs of the 2010 Republic Bank Golf Challenge. Scott Trager represented Republic and brought enthusiasm to his job of soliciting many of the sponsors. Reed Weinberg served as the tournament chair. Other members of the 2010 Golf Challenge Committee were: Jeff Calderon, Carolle Jones Clay, Ed Cohen, Jay Klempner, Ariel Kronenberg, Jim Morguelan, Marvin O’Koon, Doug Roemer and Dan Streit. The 2010 Golf Challenge staff members were: Tayo Amos, Dotty Battoe, Beverly Bromley, Kim Hales, Sally Hollingsworth, Stephanie Reese, Robin Stratton, Scott Thompson, Judy Freundlich Tiell, Julie Tufts and Teresa Weber.
Terrific volunteers helped in many ways to make the event run smoothly. They included Debbie Friedman, Sandi Friedson, Tammy Penner, Jeani Bryant, Jan Glaubinger, Nancy Roberson, Alex Dubrovensky, Keith Bertram, Griffin Cottle, Shelley Kahn and many Republic Bank staff.
